The
Grand Island Lions Club invites representatives from all the Island
service organizations to a joint meeting at the Buffalo Launch Club
on Wednesday, Nov. 28, at 7 p.m. The meeting will be the springboard
for a community-wide needs assessment initiative whose outcome will
be to determine what kinds of volunteer services the community needs,
which projects and programs are important to the people in the town,
whether current service projects are still needed by the community,
and to determine if other organizations in the community are
providing similar services that could be consolidated or require
additional support.

Civic, religious, educational, and other leaders
will be interviewed or provided a survey to complete. The citizens of
Grand Island also will be able to participate. The surveys will then
be analyzed and prioritized by volunteer members of the service
organizations involved. Any necessary funding, materials, and
volunteers will then be obtained to effectively complete the
projects. Notices of the assessment results will be published in
order to keep everyone up to date.

Dinner
will accompany the meeting at a cost of $15 per person. Reservations
are recommended and must be made no later than Nov. 25. For more
information and to place a reservation, contact Grand Island Lions
President Tom Witkowski at 716-909-1862 or via email at[email protected].
